What makes MB so sure that GM will be a successful company in building electric cars and new technologies. Do we have some pioneer invention that is a game-changer? I don’t think so. Basically her guess is as good as mine? I understand the need to... — read more 

Any chance our department could be done with layoffs even if we didn't get the "all clear" email or notification?

Majority of IT has been completed. There are still other department still going through the changes such as Engineering and so forth. Majority of employees from Pontiac may be shipped to Flint Truck & Bus depending on skillset.

GPG North america separations are over!!!!! Geck your GM email or Socrates!

Let me see if I get this straight: some of the younger employees who were laid off are being invited to reapply at GM immediately because the only reason for their dismissal was to mask disproportional number of laid off older employees and hide age... — read more 

hose not cut and left behind are a seriously shocked and demoralized workforce. It may takes years, if ever for most of them to ever have any trust in anything this company says. As for me, it is just a job at this point, not a career. While I'll go... — read more 

IT has finally settled down. Still trying to look out for some fellow engineering/GCCX co-workers. Any word on when it could stop?

Worst restructure I've ever heard of, let alone experience. White collar professionals, most enjoyed their career & dedicated themselves, who are then shamed - provided a box, informed how to conduct themselves and escorted out mortified. Before this... — read more 

Hiring Thousands in the preceding years and the jettisoning thousands of the new hires along with thousands of your best employees is a complete failure. The BOD, politicians, and news media need to understand what complete shortsightedness and lack... — read more 

Wonder if HR and Legal targetted one of the Spouse for layoff if both are employed at GM ? Any thoughts? Observations??

According to Mary Barra ... "General Motors isn’t so much an automobile manufacturer any more; it’s a tech company." At least, that’s how CEO Mary Barra wants the public to see it by the time she reaches retirement. Read more:... — read more 

They said layoffs will take two weeks. I believe them. I can't know for sure since there are no official numbers, but I think we might be half way through the announced 4,300. Laying off that many people takes time. Also, we never got the all clear... — read more 

What can those spared learn from this whole debacle? It's human nature to blame victims. Believing those who were laid off must have done something to invite it gives people comfort because it means they are safe. Don't fall for it! Some of the most... — read more 

Anything happening? Seems like the layoffs might be done

I was laid off in this round, and today a saw a job opening at GM that fits my qualifications and experience, which is in a different location then my old one but it’s not impossible to commute to from my home. I know I said, never GM again, but now... — read more

Think about it, it works out perfectly for them. They cut the salaried permanent employees, and they know people will have a hard time finding a job, so when they need their services they are gonna offer to hire them temporarily as contractors and... — read more 

I was laid off yesterday, but weirdly my former group’s executive was there and he asked me to reapply as soon as possible. Why would they do that? Anybody else have that happen?

I heard that lay offs were supposed to be done today but some people are saying it could be until Monday.

Not sure if I should update my LinkedIn profile to reflect my layoff or wait until the pay period is over. Technically, I'm still an employee since I'm being paid by GM until the end of the month. Thoughts?

It is a shame that I had to go to Fox News and Tucker Carlson to hear anyone challenge the disgraceful way white collar workers have been treated at GM: to let white collar workers twist in the wind for three months and then go through 2 weeks of... — read more 

The situation is bad but simple. With the layoffs at GM the other automotive companies in Michigan are buried with job applications from cut GM workers, as we speak. Now that I hear that a massive reorg and layoffs are in the making at Ford, getting... — read more
